Chapter 30 It's not difficult to solve
They are now sinners, and no decent family would be willing to marry them, unless they are concubines or second wives to widowers in their thirties, forties, forties or fifties.
But how is this possible?
It's so difficult to find a suitable family in Yan Village
Zhao Xiang couldn't help but feel sad and confused.
Widow Qu was a little dumbfounded.
She didn't expect that her emotion would touch the hearts of Zhao Xiang and Deng. Thinking about Zhao Liya's age, she understood and felt a sense of sympathy.
In Yan Village, it is much more difficult for women to find their lifelong affairs than for men!
"I see Hu Ling is not young anymore. I wonder—haha, I wonder what plans he has for his lifelong affairs, Brother Zhao and his wife."
Zhao Xiang and Deng were stunned: "Huh?"
Hu Ling? They really hadn't thought about Hu Ling's lifelong affairs! Hu Ling had his parents around, so they didn't need to worry about it.
Zhao Xiang had already made up his mind to let Hu Ling go back in a year or two. It was impossible for him to stay with his family in Lingnan forever.
Widow Qu cheered up: "What do you think of my Yutao? We are just the two of us in this family, and we have a clean background. Yutao is a hardworking, kind-hearted girl, and she's not bad looking either. She's a good hand at everything, and she's quite clever too. If you don't believe me, just ask around in the village. I'm also a simple person, and as long as Yutao has someone to rely on for the rest of her life, I can handle anything myself."
Mrs. Deng was dumbfounded. "So, Sister Qu, you came here today to propose marriage to our Ah Ling?"
Widow Qu felt a little embarrassed. It was always a bit cheap for a woman to come to the man's house to propose marriage in person, but this was her only chance.
"Yes, Brother Zhao and Sister-in-law, I am sincerely proposing this marriage. I will not harm you. Our Yutao is really a good girl, and she is of the same age and appearance as Xiaoling. It is really a perfect match! By the way, I have prepared a lot of dowry for Yutao over the years. It adds up to hundreds of taels of silver. When the time comes, this marriage will definitely be a grand occasion."
As for the betrothal gift, she would rather not have it.
She took this gamble and she trusted the Zhao family.
Deng looked embarrassed and hesitated: "This——"
To be fair, if Hu Ling was their biological son, this marriage would be a good match. Deng also felt that Widow Qu was a good person. She and her daughter had been to the Qu family two or three times and had met Qu Yutao. The girl gave people a very comfortable feeling and was a good girl.
In Yan Village, it would be a great honor to find such a daughter-in-law.
But the problem is that Hu Ling is not their biological son!
Seeing how eager Widow Qu was, she couldn't bear to say it.
Zhao Xiang sighed, "Sister-in-law Qu, I'm truly sorry, but we can't agree to this marriage. Ah Ling isn't our biological son, nor is he a fugitive. He's a good citizen. It's only because his family is so close to ours that he's accompanying us on this trip. He'll eventually return to his own family. He has his own parents, so naturally, his marriage is decided by them."
Widow Qu's head buzzed, she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.
"I-I see, that's how it is."
Seeing her pale face and distraught look, Zhao Xiang instinctively felt that something had happened, so he asked, "Sister-in-law Qu, are you in trouble?"
Widow Qu choked.
She didn't want to say it, after all, it was not glorious.
But she finally understood that a widow is a widow, and she and her mother have no one to rely on. Even if they can live peacefully for a few years, they will still be unable to cope once something happens!
Gritting her teeth, Widow Qu knelt down in front of Zhao Xiang and Deng, sobbing, "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, please save my Yutao! I'm willing to give you half, or even more than half, of my family property. Please help me! I really have no other choice, wuwuwu!"
"Oh! Get up quickly, get up quickly!" The two were startled. Deng hurriedly supported them and finally managed to pull Widow Qu up.
Widow Qu sobbed and told the whole story.
Mrs. Deng was shaking with anger. "That's too much! Those people are too much! How can they be so lawless as to ruin a good family's daughter?"
She also has two daughters. Just imagining that they might encounter the same thing one day makes Deng feel heartbroken.
Widow Qu looked at him gratefully and wiped her tears.
Zhao Xiang never expected the truth to be like this. He couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he had to comfort Widow Qu, "This is not something that can be decided just by saying it. Sister-in-law Qu, you go back first, and we will think about whether there is any good solution."
Yaer is smart, you can discuss this matter with her.
Widow Qu was a little disappointed, but she couldn't force it. After all, this matter had nothing to do with the Zhao family.
Since that was the case, she couldn't sit still any longer and had to say goodbye and go home.
She was so worried that she decided to keep it a secret from her daughter. Why let her worry about it?
The two children were taken care of by Aunt Li Shiyi and Hu Ling respectively. Zhao Liya had returned long ago and heard everything she should have heard in the conversation in the main room.
As soon as Widow Qu left, she came out.
"Dad, Mom."
Widow Qu's words made her feel very uncomfortable.
That Hulu, a scoundrel, ugly and wretched, dared to shamelessly marry Sister Yutao by relying on the Gu family? Disgusting!
Zhao Xiang sighed, "It's not easy for the mother and daughter of the Qu family either. Alas! Ya'er, you heard everything, right? Is there any way to help them?"
Mrs. Deng also sighed: "Yutao is a really good girl. You can't let her life be ruined by yelling at her like this!"
Zhao Liya thought about it and chuckled, "I don't think this is difficult. At most, it would offend the Gu family. But our family has already offended the Gu family, so this one is not a big deal."
"How about, mother just say that she and Aunt Qu are on good terms and want to become sworn sisters. That way, Sister Yutao will become our cousin. As long as Aunt Qu is happy, then father and mother can decide on her marriage."
Take the matter of Ganoderma lucidum for example. It was obvious that the Gu family had bad intentions and wanted to mess with them. If they hadn't been hiding a lot of their family assets, if Zhao Liya and Hu Ling hadn't been able to go into the mountains and had good luck, this matter would have brought down the Zhao family.
This is also the purpose of the Gu family.
The Gu family doesn't know their cards and doesn't leave them any wiggle room, so what else do they need to worry about?
The Gu family made them suffer a loss, and they also made the Gu family suffer a loss. It was fair.
After all, this matter has nothing to do with the Gu family on the surface, so the Gu family can't blame them at all.
Deng and Widow Qu just got along well and formed a bond, so who says that's not allowed?
Mrs. Deng's eyes lit up: "Great, great! Ya'er's idea is good, Master, let's do it this way!"
Zhao Xiang also smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as the mother and daughter of the Qu family have no objection, then let's do it."
